Anika and Liz face an unexpected emergency situation: a … good episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?
We’re discussing “Off Hour”, and in a shocking twist — we like it!
- Pike does some good captaining AND spends a big chunk of the episode unconscious!
- Erica has real command potential!
- Scotty/Enterprise slow burn coworkers to lovers
- SNW takes Christine Chapel’s rather sexist 1960s backstory and persona (she joined Starfleet to find her lost fiancé! She’s hung up on a guy who isn’t interested!) and goes, “What if she’s not the tragic spinster, but a woman who is absolutely unhinged in her dedication to the people she loves?”
- In short, we are not here to be normal about Christine and Joseph’s platonic codependent relationship
- Let! Christine! Have! An! Axe! All! The! Time!
- Okay, we just said that Christine and Joseph were platonic, but we have to ask: have they hooked up?
